Didn’t you hear? Closed circuit TV footage proved that Philippides cheated. The Greeks were stripped of their marathon achievement and the victory was retroactively awarded to the Persians. History problem solved.

As someone who has run 10 marathons, I am obligated to salute you on beating me to it. And also mentioning my ultramarathons.

i’ve run more than one and am training for another one.  it’s important you know these things about me.

As someone who has run a marathon, I am obligated to mention in comments to this blog about a marathon that I have run a marathon.

a purple-haired lesbian surrounded by her teammates with giant “DARE TO SHINE” signs around her is like, an incredible image as we reach the end of Pride Month, it makes my gay little heart so fucking happy.

These two things are antithetical to one another in some parts of the world. Much more so now that we are decades into denying the existence of climate change, and therewith any responsibility to correct it or even reduce the activities that are causing it.

Winter is better than summer: You can always put more clothes on when you’re cold, but if you’re hot you can’t do a thing about it.
